My airplane is a Stolp Starduster SA-100 and it came with six #1280 bungees installed.
Anyone know what the plans called for? Logs show that they were recently installed.
The airplanes builder has died, so I am left wondering why so many bungees.
My concern is do you think the gear truss may fail with such a loading on a bad landing bounce? Builder had about 160 hours on the softer bungees before he changed to these.
Anyone else have this setup on a SA-100?
Thoughts?
Thanks,
Warren
